Wear Yellow Nebraska Opens Registration for 18th Annual Ride, Run & Walk in 2021
Wear Yellow Nebraska (supportwyn.org/18) has opened event registration for the 18th Annual Wear Yellow Nebraska Ride, Run & Walk, scheduled for Saturday, August 14. Each registration for the nonprofit’s annual fundraiser provides a fellow Nebraskan in their fight against cancer with two rides to and from their treatments. This is accomplished through the Wear Yellow Cab Ride Program, plus other initiatives that support their mission and truly make a difference for cancer survivors.
From its very beginning, Wear Yellow Nebraska’s purpose was to bring together people who are passionate about cycling to celebrate life and fight cancer. The original Wear Yellow Ride was organized by Mike and Stacy Buckley in 2003 as a way to rally the Omaha community in riding for a good cause—their entry into the prestigious Austin LIVESTRONG Challenge. As passion for the cause grew and more people wanted to get involved, the group’s focus started to shift inward, and they made the decision to form a nonprofit organization and keep the funds from the annual event in Nebraska to support cancer survivors in our own communities.
Today, Wear Yellow Nebraska is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a clear focus on niche initiatives that offer cancer survivors support in ways that weren’t previously being addressed and for people who would otherwise fall through the cracks, truly caring for each person’s special circumstances.
